Effect of MDM2 inhibitors on ability of senescent cells to stimulate cancer cell aggressiveness. (A,B) ZR75-1 human breast cancer cells were cultured in the presence of CM from DMSO- or MI-63-treated (mock or IR) HCA2 fibroblasts for 3 d, and immunostained for ZO-1, cytokeratin 18 or vimentin. (A) Representative images of the staining. (B) Quantification of staining (percentage of positive cells). (C) CM described in (A) was assayed for ability to stimulate ZR75-1 cancer cells to invade a basement membrane. Invasion stimulated by CM from DMSO-treated mock fibroblasts was given a value of one, and other conditions were normalized to this value. Data are means of 4 independent experiments (*p < 0.05, t-test). Error bars indicate standard deviation of the mean.
